Looking for change

I am becoming more and more aware of the amazing wealth we have here in America and the poverty that effects much of the rest of the world. I know it is an old cliche, but we probably waste more resources than most of the world has. We spend billions on movies, pets, eating out, wireless networking and cell phones so we can be connected wherever we go.

That is all great- and a blessing that we have the resources to use. But as a church, Jesus called us to love our neighbors as ourselves. He called us to give to the least, and if they take your cloak, do not stop them from taking your tunic. Jesus wanted us to give and give freely. To take what he provides us with and to give as much as we can. To feed the hungry, stand beside the broken, to help those in need. Let us go today- and never stop going
